Hi all,
It will be my first time going to Paris this May and I wanted to buy an LV there. Where would the best place be? If you can recommend a specific LV branch and share your experience that would be great!
I heard LV at Galeries Lafayette is able to do tax refunds right away so I am planning to go there. For anyone who has shopped at Lafayette, do they do the tax refunds inside the actual store or is it at customer service?
Also, I am a bit scared of walking around from the LV store back to the hotel carrying the LV paper bag. Is it safe to do so or should I hide my purchase? My hotel is near the Lourve and if I do plan to buy it in Lafayette it would be around a 10-15 minute walk. I'm planning to buy something in the damier ebene print and I don't know if that's considered "flashy" but is it safe carrying a designer bag in Paris? I'm scared to become a victim of pickpocketing because of my bag.
Thanks!
